Economic Development Scorecard
Relying on Partnerships to Leverage Limited Resources
Saint Paul is fortunate to have a strong tradition of collaboration among various sectors and institutions. Ensuring the economic stability of the City of Saint Paul requires all stakeholders to work together, sharing responsibility for achievement of the overall objectives.
The established formal partnership among the City, Saint Paul Port Authority, Capital City Partnership, Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation and Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, is essential to achieving the economic development goals outlined in the Economic Development Strategy.
Accomplishing our economic development goals also relies on scores of other partners including colleges, training institutions, community development corporations, ethnic business groups, business associations.
